Statistics #8: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

Like the original Harry Potter films, Fantastic Beasts features a huge cast and sends shock waves through my spreadsheet. Today, I’ll go through some of that.

Review #10: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

Another big blockbuster is out this weekend and I’ve got an opinion. I explore Fantastic Beasts from my nostalgic, Harry Potter-loving, childhood perspective. There’s plenty of good and plenty of bad to go around.

Statistics #7 : The Edge of Seventeen

A new format for statistics episodes debuts with The Edge of Seventeen. And then a brief look at some of the data on my top 100 (without going into too much detail on what films are actually in it).

Review #9: The Edge of Seventeen

Today’s review focuses on the new James L. Brooks film, The Edge of Seventeen, starring Hailee Steinfeld! Spoiler: I liked it.

Review #8: Arrival

I break down Arrival, and I kind of break down a little bit myself, too. There’s a brief spoiler-free section, but the majority of the episode is spoiler-heavy (which I say, so fear not about being surprised by things).

Review #7: Moonlight

I take a deep look at my feelings on Moonlight, which definitely perplexed me as to what I should rate it. I compare it to Carol and Steve Jobs, noting the pluses and minuses for each comparison.

General #2: Update!

Just a short update on the podcast. It’s still very much in its infancy and I’m working to make it as great as I can, but I can only do so much! Feel free to let me know if you have any other helpful tips or advice toward progressing Circle of Film in the right direction.

Statistics #6: Musings

I give a general overview of the impact the spreadsheet has had on me and my life. A little dabbling in the spreadsheet as a conversation piece, what I would love for it to result in, and how it all started.

Statistics #5: Hacksaw Ridge

I see just how much of an imprint Hacksaw Ridge leaves on the spreadsheet and then dive a little deeper into the actors’ page to explore and explain the ins and outs of how it works.

Review #6: Hacksaw Ridge

I do an immediate review of Hacksaw Ridge, Mel Gibson’s latest directorial effort, today on my way home from the theater. Also, note the different intro! There will be a general episode soon to address a few changes I’ve made to some of the intro media and a whole new category of episode, as well. My apologies for any scraping noises or otherwise bad audio. I did my best to clean up the audio track and make it as coherent as I could.

Statistics #4: Doctor Strange

I go into the newest MCU film and looks at how it stacks up to the rest. Then, I see just how it affects my spreadsheet and everyone involved in the film. Part two deals with my top ranked directors as I continue to try to flesh out my personal taste in film for those of you listening in order to help you get a better grasp of where I’m coming from.

Review #5: Trolls & Doctor Strange

Today, I check in with the two biggest releases of the weekend with Trolls and Doctor Strange. No overt spoilers to be found, but some general and vague ones if you’ve seen any other MCU film before Doctor Strange or generic animated kids movie before Trolls. Check below for how far to skip ahead if you’re only interested in the Doctor Strange portion of the episode!
